April - June 2007

It got warm in early April (followed by snow!). Grandma Fern came to visit in early May; we had lots of fun with her. Once Daddy was done teaching classes, we got to take some trips. We visited Nebraska and South Dakota to see lots of family. We took Mommy and Daddy to Chicago. Also, one of Daddy's graduate students invited us to his wedding, so we got dressed up for that.

January - March 2007

January found us in Tucson for an extended visit while Dad went to a conference. Mom said something about "boondoggle", but we're not sure what that means. We also got up to the Phoenix area to visit friends. In March, we had our birthday, so now we are two.

October - December 2006

Fall was pretty mild here in Indiana, and we got through Thanksgiving and Christmas without any real snow or cold. This year, we really knew about opening presents at Christmas time.

He said it was okay to get your hiking boots out of the closet.
